With
suicide now an international epidemic, one outburst could land her in
The Program, the only proven course of treatment. Sloane’s parents have
already lost one child; Sloane knows they’ll do anything to keep her
alive. She also knows that everyone who’s been through The Program
returns as a blank slate. Because their depression is gone—but so are
their memories.

Under constant surveillance at home and at
school, Sloane puts on a brave face and keeps her feelings buried as
deep as she can. The only person Sloane can be herself with is James.
He’s promised to keep them both safe and out of treatment, and Sloane
knows their love is strong enough to withstand anything. But despite the
promises they made to each other, it’s getting harder to hide the
truth. They are both growing weaker. Depression is setting in.
